CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
NewsML-G2 is an XML-based standard used to represent news in a structured way. Reuters follows this standard
for all its news stories.
Unless otherwise stated, NML2 herein implies NewsML-G2, part of the Family of G2-Standards based on the IPTC
News Architecture (NAR).
This document concentrates on the relevant NML2 fields relating to Reuters Connect. It provides a quick
indication of key relevant details in the XML file and how to obtain the information from the XML file via XPath
selection. Note that the scope of NML2 is broader than described in this document.

CHAPTER 2 OVERVIEW
2.1 GENERAL STRUCTURE OF NML2
A NML2 XML document starts with a newsMessage root node. The newsMessage contains a message header
node and an itemSet node. For Reuters content, the itemSet typically contains a single newsItem or
packageItem node, but in some cases may contain multiple items as illustrated below.

newsMessage
header Message Header
date, sender, transmitId, priority, destination, channel, etc.

Message Header – This contains transmission-related information.

<header>
<sent>2010-11-16T09:05:49.000Z</sent>
<sender>reuters.com</sender>
<transmitId>tag:reuters.com,0000:newsml_MIE6AF058:1320682045</transmitId>
<priority>2</priority>
<destination>WMITB</destination>
<channel>TXT</channel>
</header>

Item Set – The itemSet serves as a wrapper for one or more packageItems and newsItems.
The packageItem and newsItem are the two main constructs that Reuters uses. The number of packageItems
and newsItems will be different for different types of NML2.

 packageItem – It contains the overall details of the XML file and is used to package related newsItems.
Example: You can see in the Broadcast Video example below how the group element in packageItem
groups all the references to the related newsItems, which are referenced by their unique identifiers (guid).

2.2 TYPES OF ITEMS
Below are the different types of items available from Reuters and what you can expect to find in the itemSet for
each type of item.
 Text - A single newsItem containing embedded text. Text items are classified as Simple News Items (SNIs).
 Picture - A single newsItem containing references to different resolutions of the same image. Picture items
are classified as Simple News Items (SNIs).
 Graphic - A single newsItem containing references to different resolutions of the same graphic. Graphic
items are classified as Simple News Items (SNIs).
 Video – A newsMessage containing a packageItem along with a collection of newsItems including a text
transcript, images, audio renditions, and video renditions. Video items are classified as composite items as
they always embed a package with multiple SNIs in the same message. Reuters produces two types of video
items:
○ Online Videos - These are ready-to-air videos with text, audio and pictures for instant playing.
○ Broadcast Video - These are raw video files intended to be edited before being published.
 Summary - A single (Text) newsItem that summarizes all the stories in a given Linked List.
 Package - A packageItem containing a collection of references to newsItems of any media type
(text/picture/graphic/audio/video). Packages are also called News Event Packages (NEPs).
Note A NEP always points to other simple items.

 Linked List - This provides a Reuters-prioritized list of packageItems. This is also called a Super News
Event Package (SNEP).
Note A SNEP always points to other NEPs.

The XPaths used to identify different types of Reuters NML2 items are listed here. The ‘type’ of an NML2 item can
be identified based on the signal and subject elements as follows:

ITEM TYPE ITEM ELEMENTS XPATH

Text <signal qcode="pmt:text"/> /newsMessage/itemSet/newsItem/itemMeta[signal[@qcode=’pmt:text’]]

Picture <signal /newsMessage/itemSet/newsItem/itemMeta[signal[@qcode=’pmt:picture’]]

2.3 TYPES OF FEEDS
Reuters provides two types of feeds:
 Wire Feeds
○ Contains one of the following SNI types: Text / Picture / Graphic / Video
○ They are standalone items i.e., none of the above media types are linked to each other.
 Online Report (OLR) Feeds
○ Contains the following item types: SNIs / Summary / Package / Linked Lists
○ Packages link together simple items.
○ Linked Lists provide prioritized views of packages in an Online Report as decided by Reuters Editorial staff.

2.3.1. Processing OLR Feeds

There are two main ways to process OLR feeds:

1. Look for Linked List updates:

Find the most recent Linked List for a given channel. If the date (versionCreated) of the linked list has not
changed since the last update, it means there are no new updates and hence there is no need to go through
the individual packages.

2. Look for Package updates:

If you are interested only in packages, look for package updates and ignore the linked list updates. Each
updated package will point you to the latest simple items for that package (and any related simple items:
text, pictures, graphics, and/or videos).

2.4 SUMMARY OF GUIDS & IDS
A guid is the globally unique identifier of a story and is valid forever. Each revision of the story, also known as an
item, contains the same guid thereby maintaining the relationship between different revisions of the same story.
In NML2, the guid attribute of a packageItem or newsItem contains the story guid. This guid attribute can
also be used in conjunction with the version attribute on a packageItem or newsItem to identify a specific item.
When a packageItem or newsItem is referenced by the guid attribute only, the item with the newest
versionCreated should be used.
Additionally, the field rtr:versionedId contains the combination of the guid attribute and the version
attribute which you can use to uniquely identify a specific item. This element is present in the itemMeta of the
appropriate packageItem or newsItem.

Example: Snippets of two items are given below. Since each item is a revision of the same story, the guid
attribute is same for both items. The version attribute is clearly different indicating they are different revisions.
Additionally, versionCreated for Revision B is newer than Revision A indicating that Revision B is the latest
version of this story.
Also note that rtr:versionedId captures both guid and version in it and is unique for each revision of the same
story.

<p>Euro zone worries pressure Wall St</p>

Document Version 1.0

Date of issue: 08 March 2011
 <p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks dipped on Monday with investors taking
profits and looking for further action from European officials to prevent a debt
crisis from spreading. Euro zone finance ministers were set to meet amid pressure to
increase the size of a 750 billion euro ($1,006 billion) safety net for debt-stricken
members. But Germany rejected any such move.</p>
<p>Pfizer CEO switch may mean new strategy, shares up</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Investors welcomed the sudden departure of Pfizer
Inc &lt;PFE.N&gt; CEO Jeffrey Kindler by pushing up the stock in the hopes that a new
leader will more act more aggressively to revive the giant pharmaceutical company.
While questions remain about the abruptness of Kindler's retirement, announced on
Sunday evening, Pfizer shares rose 1.1 percent on Monday as investors bet that new
CEO Ian Read will push through sales, cost cuts, share buybacks or higher dividends
for the world's largest drugmaker.</p>
<p>Bernanke: More Fed bond buys "certainly possible"</p>
<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve could end up buying more
than the $600 billion in U.S. government bonds it has committed to purchase if the
economy fails to respond or unemployment stays too high, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
said. The Fed will regularly review the policy and could adjust the amount of buying
up or down depending on the economy's path, he added.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart class-action appeal goes to top court</p>
<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday it would
decide if the largest sex-discrimination class-action lawsuit in U.S. history against
Wal-Mart Stores Inc &lt;WMT.N&gt; can proceed, a case involving women workers who
seek billions of dollars in damages. The nation's highest court agreed to hear an
appeal by the world's largest retailer and the largest private U.S. employer arguing
the claims of as many as 1.5 million current and former female employees were too
diverse to proceed as a single class-action lawsuit.</p>
<p>Taylor says U.S. headed for recession</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. economy is headed for a new recession,
said John Taylor, chairman and chief investment officer of FX Concepts, and that will
likely benefit the dollar and weigh on commodity prices. "It's a new recession. We're
already growing, but the numbers show that the U.S. government is still the primary
creator of this growth," said Taylor, who runs the world's largest currency hedge
fund with assets under management of around $8.5 billion.</p>
<p>Kellogg CEO retires; COO to replace him</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Kellogg Co &lt;K.N&gt; named Chief Operating
Officer John Bryant its new chief executive officer on Monday, replacing David
Mackay, who became eligible for retirement in July. Mackay told the board that he
planned to retire effective January 1, 2011, to spend more time with his family,
according to company spokeswoman Kris Charles.</p>
<p>Rio Tinto in talks on $3.5 billion bid for Riversdale</p>
<p>MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Miner Rio Tinto &lt;RIO.AX&gt; &lt;RIO.L&gt;
made a $3.5 billion bid approach for Africa-focused Riversdale Mining &lt;RIV.AX&gt;,
sending the target firm's shares surging 16 percent and setting up a potential
takeover battle. Rio's move on Australia's Riversdale is likely to spark a bidding
war, as the company has hard coking-coal projects in Mozambique that could eventually
supply 5-10 percent of the global market for the key steel-making material.</p>
<p>MetLife to grow in 2011 because of Alico</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - MetLife Inc &lt;MET.N&gt; expects operating
earnings to grow more than a third next year as the largest U.S. life insurer
benefits from its blockbuster acquisition of global life insurer Alico. The company
expects operating earnings to decline across its U.S. business lines in 2011, but
that will be more than offset by gains from Alico, which MetLife acquired from
American International Group Inc &lt;AIG.N&gt; in November.</p>
<p>Kraft seeks court injunction in Starbucks fight</p>
<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Kraft Foods Inc &lt;KFT.N&gt; escalated its
battle with Starbucks Corp &lt;SBUX.O&gt; on Monday, saying it is asking a federal
court to stop the company from trying to unilaterally end their lucrative deal to
sell packaged coffee. Kraft said it was seeking a preliminary injunction in U.S.
District Court in New York "to stop Starbucks from proceeding as if the agreement has
been terminated, when, in fact, the contract is still in force."</p>

 <p>Continental, welder guilty in Concorde crash trial</p>
<p>PONTOISE, France (Reuters) - A French court on Monday found
Continental Airlines and a mechanic at the airline guilty of involuntary manslaughter
for their part in the 2000 Concorde crash that spelled the end of the supersonic
airliner. In a ruling that could affect the way planes are maintained and inspected,
the court said the U.S. airline and a welder were to blame for a small metal strip
that dropped off a Continental aircraft onto the runway and ruptured a tyre on the
Concorde, causing the crash that killed 113 people.</p>
